Der Verkehrsteilnehmer bzw. Nutzer VT kann von seinem mobilen Endgerät 8 über den Zugangspunkt 7 und das Datennetzwerk 6 eine Routenanfrage an die Routingeinheit 2 des Verkehrsmanagementsystems 1 übertragen. Die Routingeinheit 2 berechnet für jede empfangene Routenanfrage RANF Verkehrsroutenvorschläge VRV, die unterschiedliche Verkehrsmittel VM umfassen und übermittelt die berechneten Verkehrsroutenvorschläge VRV an den anfragenden Verkehrsteilnehmer VT. Dieser Verkehrsteilnehmer VT wählt anschließend eine Verkehrsroute aus, deren Verkehrsroutendaten VRD durch die Routingeinheit 2 an den Verkehrsteilnehmer VT übertragen werden. Die Routingeinheit 2 wertet die Positionsdaten PD, insbesondere GPS-Daten des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT entlang der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT genommenen Verkehrsroute, zur Validierung der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT dabei benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM aus. Weiterhin wird das Verhalten des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT durch die Bewertungseinheit 3 auf Basis der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM bewertet. Die Bewertungseinheit 3 führt eine Bewertung des Verhaltens des Verkehrsteilnehmers durch, wobei die Bewertung in Abhängigkeit der Umweltfreundlichkeit der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM sowie der Menge und/oder Qualität von ortsbezogenen Ereignismeldungen EM vorgenommen wird, welche von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT stammen. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementsystems 1, wie es in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, können die Daten zudem durch die Bewertungseinheit 3 und die Routingeinheit 2 an eine Verkehrsmittelzentrale 5 übertragen werden. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform weist das Verkehrsmanagementsystem 1 eine Steuereinheit auf, welche Verkehrsmittel und/oder Verkehrsleitmittel ansteuert. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform erfolgt die Ansteuerung der Verkehrsmittel VM und/oder Verkehrsleitmittel durch die Steuereinheit, die sich beispielsweise in der Verkehrsmanagementzentrale 5 befinden kann, in Abhängigkeit des von der Bewertungseinheit 3 bewerteten Verhaltens einer Vielzahl von Verkehrsteilnehmern.The road user or user VT can transmit from his mobile terminal 8 via the access point 7 and the data network 6 a route request to the routing unit 2 of the traffic management system 1. The routing unit 2 calculates for each received route request RANF traffic route proposals VRV, which comprise different means of transport VM and transmits the calculated traffic route proposals VRV to the requesting road user VT. This road user VT then selects a traffic route whose traffic route data VRD are transmitted by the routing unit 2 to the road user VT. The routing unit 2 evaluates the position data PD, in particular GPS data of the road user VT along the traffic route taken by the road user VT, for the validation of the traffic VM used by the road user VT. Furthermore, the behavior of the road user VT is evaluated by the evaluation unit 3 on the basis of the traffic VM used by the road user VT. The evaluation unit 3 carries out an evaluation of the behavior of the road user, wherein the evaluation is made depending on the environmental friendliness of the traffic VM used by the road user VT and the amount and / or quality of location-related event messages EM come from the road user VT. In a possible embodiment of the traffic management system 1 according to the invention, as shown in FIG Fig. 1 is shown, the data can also be transmitted by the evaluation unit 3 and the routing unit 2 to a transport center 5. In one possible embodiment, the traffic management system 1 has a control unit which controls means of transport and / or traffic guidance. In one possible embodiment, the control of the means of transport VM and / or traffic guidance is carried out by the control unit, which may be located, for example, in the traffic management center 5, depending on the behavior of a plurality of road users evaluated by the evaluation unit 3.

Fig. 2 zeigt ein Ablaufdiagramm zur Darstellung eines Ausführungsbeispiels des erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementverfahrens zur Förderung umweltfreundlicher Verkehrsmittel. Fig. 2 shows a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the traffic management method according to the invention for promoting environmentally friendly means of transport.

In einem ersten Schritt S1 werden durch die Routingeinheit 2 berechnete Verkehrsroutenvorschläge VRV, die unterschiedliche Verkehrsmittel VM umfassen, an einen anfragenden Verkehrsteilnehmer VT übermittelt.In a first step S1, traffic route proposals VRV calculated by the routing unit 2 and comprising different means of transport VM are transmitted to a requesting road user VT.

Aus den übermittelten Verkehrsroutenvorschlägen VRV wird anschließend durch den anfragenden Verkehrsteilnehmer VT eine Verkehrsroute VR ausgewählt und diese ausgewählte Verkehrsroute an die Routingeinheit 2 übertragen, die dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT daraufhin Verkehrsroutendaten VRD für die von ihm ausgewählte Verkehrsroute VR bereitstellt.From the transmitted traffic route proposals VRV is then selected by the requesting road user VT a traffic route VR and this selected route to the routing unit 2, which then provides the road user VT traffic route data VRD for the selected by him traffic route VR.

In einem weiteren Schritt S3 werden Positionsdaten PD des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT entlang der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT genommenen Verkehrsroute VR zur Validierung der dabei durch den Verkehrsteilnehmer benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM übertragen. Bei der Validierung wird geprüft, ob der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT tatsächlich die entsprechenden Verkehrsmittel benutzt bzw. benutzt hat.In a further step S3, position data PD of the road user VT are transmitted along the traffic route VR taken by the road user VT for the purpose of validating the means of transport VM used by the road user. During validation, it is checked whether the road user VT actually used or used the appropriate means of transport.

In einem weiteren Schritt S4 wird ein Verhalten des Verkehrsteilnehmers auf Basis der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM bewertet. Die Bewertung des Verhaltens erfolgt durch die Bewertungseinheit 3 einerseits in Abhängigkeit der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer genommenen Verkehrsmittel VM und andererseits in Abhängigkeit von Ereignismeldungen EM, die von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT gesendet werden. Der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT kann entlang der von ihm genommenen Verkehrsroute VR ortsbezogene beobachtete verkehrsrelevante Ereignisse an die Verkehrsmanagementzentrale 5 und/oder an die Routingeinheit 2 in einer Ereignismeldung EM übermitteln. Der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT kann während seiner Fahrt beobachtete Ereignisse mit Ortsbezug an das Verkehrsmanagementsystem 1 liefern. Beispielsweise kann ein Verkehrsteilnehmer von ihm beobachtete Verkehrsstaus und sonstige Störungen an das Verkehrsmanagementsystem 1 melden. Beispielsweise kann ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT in einer geschriebenen oder gesprochenen Textnachricht verkehrsrelevante Ereignisse an die Verkehrsmanagementzentrale 5 oder die Routingeinheit 2 in Ereignismeldungen EM übertragen. Die übermittelten Ereignismeldungen EM können neben Textdaten auch sonstige Daten, insbesondere Audio- oder Videodaten, umfassen. Beispielsweise kann ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT, der in einem Fahrzeug sitzt, während der Fahrt eine gesprochene Meldung hinsichtlich eines Verkehrsereignisses in ein Mikrofon hineinsprechen, die beispielsweise einen auf der Gegenfahrbahn von ihm beobachteten Verkehrsstau betrifft. Der vorbeifahrende Verkehrsteilnehmer VT kann dabei zusätzliche Angaben hinsichtlich des aufgetretenen Verkehrsereignisses machen, beispielsweise die von ihm geschätzte Länge des Staus sowie die von ihm beobachtete Ursache des Staus. Je mehr und je detaillierter die Angaben hinsichtlich des beobachteten Verkehrsereignisses sind, desto höher ist die Qualität der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer an das Verkehrsmanagementsystem 1 übermittelten Ereignismeldung. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform berechnet die Routingeinheit 2 Verkehrsroutenvorschläge VRV für andere Verkehrsteilnehmer VT in Abhängigkeit von den erhaltenen übermittelten verkehrsrelevanten Ereignissen. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform erfolgt eine Datenverarbeitung der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT übermittelten verkehrsrelevanten Ereignismeldung EM teilweise oder vollständig automatisch. Die übermittelten Ereignismeldungen EM können verkehrsrelevante Ereignisse in strukturierter oder unstrukturierter Form beschreiben. Erhaltene Text- oder Audionachrichten können hinsichtlich bestimmter Schlüsselwörter analysiert werden. Weiterhin können erhaltene Bilddaten, die verkehrsrelevante Ereignisse anzeigen, automatisch mittels Objekterkennungsalgorithmen ausgewertet werden. Gemeldete ortsbezogene verkehrsrelevante Ereignisse, die von verschiedenen Verkehrsteilnehmern VT am selben Beobachtungsort, beispielsweise an einer Verkehrskreuzung oder dergleichen, stammen, werden vorzugsweise zur Verifizierung und/oder Konkretisierung des beobachteten verkehrsrelevanten Ereignisses miteinander verglichen. Beobachten zwei verschiedene Verkehrsteilnehmer VT1, VT2, beispielsweise an derselben Straßenkreuzung, einen Verkehrsunfall und melden diesen unabhängig voneinander in zwei verschiedenen Ereignismeldungen EM1, EM2 an das Verkehrsmanagementsystem 1, kann hierdurch seitens des Systems mit einer sehr hohen Wahrscheinlichkeit verifiziert werden, dass der aufgetretene Verkehrsunfall tatsächlich stattgefunden hat. Weiterhin können die Informationen, die von verschiedenen Verkehrsteilnehmern stammen, sich gegenseitig ergänzen und so eine größere Genauigkeit der Ereignisbeschreibung ermöglichen. Sofern sich die Informationen verschiedener Verkehrsteilnehmer widersprechen, können diese nach verschiedenen Kriterien ausgewertet werden, um eine möglichst zutreffende Beschreibung des Ereignisses zu erzielen.In a further step S4, a behavior of the road user is evaluated on the basis of the traffic VM used by the road user VT. The evaluation of the behavior is carried out by the evaluation unit 3, on the one hand as a function of the means of transport VM taken by the road user and, on the other hand, in dependence on event messages EM which are sent by the road user VT. The road user VT can transmit location-related observed traffic-related events to the traffic management center 5 and / or to the routing unit 2 in an event message EM along the traffic route VR taken by him. The road user VT can deliver observed location-related events to the traffic management system 1 during his journey. For example, a road user can report traffic congestion and other disturbances to the traffic management system 1 that he has observed. By way of example, a road user VT in a written or spoken text message can transmit traffic-relevant events to the traffic management center 5 or the routing unit 2 in event messages EM. The transmitted event messages EM may include text data as well as other data, in particular audio or video data. For example, a road user VT who is seated in a vehicle during driving speak into a microphone of a traffic event concerning a traffic event, which relates, for example, to a traffic jam which he has observed in the opposite lane. The passing road user VT can make additional information regarding the occurred traffic event, such as the estimated length of the traffic jam and the observed cause of the congestion. The more and the more detailed the information regarding the observed traffic event, the higher the quality of the event message transmitted by the road user to the traffic management system 1. In one possible embodiment, the routing unit calculates 2 traffic route proposals VRV for other road users VT depending on the received transmitted traffic-related events. In one possible embodiment, data processing of the traffic-relevant event message EM transmitted by the road user VT takes place partially or completely automatically. The transmitted event messages EM can describe traffic-relevant events in a structured or unstructured form. Received text or audio messages can be analyzed for specific keywords. Furthermore, received image data, which indicate traffic-relevant events, can be evaluated automatically by means of object recognition algorithms. Reported location-related traffic-relevant events that originate from different road users VT at the same observation location, for example at a traffic intersection or the like, are preferably compared with one another for the purpose of verifying and / or concretizing the observed traffic-relevant event. Observe two different road users VT1, VT2, for example, at the same intersection, a traffic accident and report this independently in two different event messages EM1, EM2 to the traffic management system 1, this can be verified by the system with a very high probability that the traffic accident actually occurred took place. Furthermore, the information coming from different road users can complement each other and thus allow greater accuracy of the event description. If the information of different road users contradict each other, they can be evaluated according to various criteria in order to obtain the most accurate description of the event.

Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform können sich verschiedene Verkehrsteilnehmer VT oder eine Gruppe von Verkehrsteilnehmern gemeinsam bei der Bewertungseinheit 3 bzw. Bewertungsplattform zur Bewertung ihres Verhaltens anmelden. Das Verhalten eines Verkehrsteilnehmers VT umfasst einerseits die Art der von ihm benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM und andererseits die Menge und Qualität der von ihm gelieferten Ereignismeldungen EM.In one possible embodiment, various road users VT or a group of road users can jointly register with the evaluation unit 3 or evaluation platform for assessing their behavior. The behavior of a road user VT includes on the one hand the nature of the means of transport VM he uses and on the other hand the quantity and quality of the event messages EM supplied by him.

Fig. 3 zeigt schematisch in einem Signalisierungsdiagramm ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementverfahrens. Zunächst kann sich ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT bei der Bewertungseinheit 3 zur Teilnahme an dem erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementverfahren in einem Anmeldeprozess ANM anmelden. Alternativ können sich auch mehrere Verkehrsteilnehmer VT zusammen in einer Verkehrsteilnehmergruppe VTG bei der Bewertungseinheit 3 anmelden. Nach Erhalt einer Routenanfrage RANF von dem angemeldeten Verkehrsteilnehmer VT werden durch die Routingeinheit 2 Verkehrsroutenvorschläge VRV berechnet. Bei der Routingeinheit 2 kann es sich bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform um eine verkehrsmittelübergreifende Routingeinheit handeln, die verschiedene Typen von Verkehrsmittel VM berücksichtigt. Alternativ kann es sich bei der Routingeinheit 2 auch um eine verkehrsmittelspezifische Routingeinheit, beispielsweise ausschließlich für Fahrräder, handeln. Die Routingeinheit 2 ermittelt die verschiedenen Verkehrsroutenempfehlungen bzw. Verkehrsroutenvorschläge VRV an den anfragenden Verkehrsteilnehmer, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt. Die Routingeinheit 2 berechnet nach Empfang der Routenanfrage RANF von dem mobilen Endgerät 8 des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT verschiedene Verkehrsroutenvorschläge VRV für Verkehrsrouten VR auf Basis von Navigationsdaten und/oder aktuellen Verkehrsdaten. Die ausgewählte Verkehrsroute VR wird von der Routingeinheit 2 an das mobile Endgerät 8 des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT in einer Verkehrsroutenempfehlung VRV übermittelt. Der teilnehmende Verkehrsteilnehmer VT wählt aus den übermittelten verschiedenen Verkehrsroutenempfehlungen bzw. Verkehrsroutenvorschlägen VRV eine Verkehrsroute VR aus und überträgt die von ihm ausgewählte Verkehrsroute in einer Verkehrsroutenanzeigemeldung VRA sowohl an die Routingeinheit 2 als auch an die Bewertungseinheit 3, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt. Nach Empfang der Routenauswahlmeldung zur Auswahl der Verkehrsroute VR überträgt die Routingeinheit 2 entsprechende Verkehrsroutendaten VRD für die ausgewählte Verkehrsroute VR an das mobile Endgerät 8 des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT. Die Verkehrsroutendaten VRD der ausgewählten Verkehrsroute werden anschließend auf einer Anzeigeeinheit bzw. einem Display des mobilen Endgeräts 8 in einer Karte dem Verkehrsteilnehmer angezeigt. Fig. 3 shows schematically in a signaling diagram an embodiment of the traffic management method according to the invention. First, a road user VT can register with the assessment unit 3 for participation in the traffic management method according to the invention in a registration process ANM. Alternatively, several road users VT can register together in a road user group VTG at the assessment unit 3. After receiving a route request RANF from the registered road user VT, the routing unit 2 calculates traffic route proposals VRV. In the case of the routing unit 2, one possible embodiment may be a traffic-spreading routing unit that takes into account different types of transport VM. Alternatively, the routing unit 2 may also be a transport-specific routing unit, for example exclusively for bicycles. The routing unit 2 determines the various traffic route recommendations or traffic route proposals VRV to the requesting road users, as in Fig. 3 shown. The routing unit 2, after receiving the route request RANF from the mobile terminal 8 of the traffic participant VT, calculates different traffic route proposals VRV for traffic routes VR on the basis of navigation data and / or current traffic data. The selected traffic route VR is transmitted by the routing unit 2 to the mobile terminal 8 of the road user VT in a traffic route recommendation VRV. The participating road user VT selects a traffic route VR from the transmitted different traffic route recommendations or traffic route proposals VRV and transmits the traffic route selected by it in a traffic route display message VRA both to the routing unit 2 and to the evaluation unit 3, as in FIG Fig. 3 shown. After receiving the route selection message for selecting the traffic route VR, the routing unit 2 transmits corresponding traffic route data VRD for the selected traffic route VR to the mobile terminal 8 of the road user VT. The traffic route data VRD of the selected traffic route become subsequently displayed on a display unit or a display of the mobile terminal 8 in a map to the road user.

Eine Verkehrsroute VR umfasst typischerweise mehrere Streckenabschnitte zwischen verschiedenen Verkehrspunkten, die in den meisten Fällen mithilfe unterschiedlicher Verkehrsmittel VM erreicht werden können, wie schematisch in den Figuren 6, 7 dargestellt. Die Routenauswahlmeldung wird von dem Endgerät 8 des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT an die Bewertungseinheit 3 übertragen, welche das Verhalten des Verkehrsteilnehmers anhand der entlang der Verkehrsroute VR von ihm benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM bewertet. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform berechnet die Bewertungseinheit 3 für das Verhalten des Verkehrsteilnehmers einen Verkehrsverhaltensanzeigewert VAZ auf Basis von Emissionswerten der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT entlang der genommenen Verkehrsroute VR benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM. Dabei wird die Benutzung eines Verkehrsmittels mit niedrigen Emissionswerten durch die Bewertungseinheit 3 höher bewertet als die Benutzung eines Verkehrsmittels mit einem hohen Emissionswert. Für die verschiedenen Verkehrsmittel bzw. Verkehrsmittelarten können in einem Datenspeicher verschiedene Emissionswerte hinsichtlich der CO2-Belastung und/oder der Lärmbelästigung hinterlegt werden. Die Bewertungseinheit 3 bewertet vorzugsweise auf Basis der gespeicherten Emissionswerte der verschiedenen Verkehrsmittel VM einen Verkehrsverhaltensanzeigewert VAZ für das Verkehrsverhalten des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform erfolgt die Bewertung des Verhaltens eines Verkehrsteilnehmers VT zusätzlich in Abhängigkeit von der Menge und/oder Qualität der von dem jeweiligen Verkehrsteilnehmer VT an die Routingeinheit 2 oder die Verkehrsmanagementzentrale 5 übermittelten Ereignismeldungen EM. Ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT, welcher viele Ereignismeldungen mit hoher Qualität bzw. hohem Detaillierungsgrad an das Verkehrsmanagementsystem 1 überträgt, wird hinsichtlich seines Verhaltens besser bzw. höher bewertet als ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT, der keine bzw. wenige Ereignismeldungen EM liefert.A traffic route VR typically comprises several route sections between different traffic points, which in most cases can be reached by means of different means of transport VM, as shown schematically in FIGS FIGS. 6 . 7 shown. The route selection message is transmitted from the terminal 8 of the road user VT to the evaluation unit 3, which evaluates the behavior of the road user on the basis of the traffic VM used by him along the traffic route VR. In one possible embodiment, the road user behavior evaluation unit 3 calculates a traffic behavior display value VAZ based on emission values of the traffic VM used by the road user VT along the taken traffic route VR. In this case, the use of a vehicle with low emission values by the evaluation unit 3 is rated higher than the use of a vehicle with a high emission value. For the various means of transport or types of transport, different emission values with regard to the CO 2 load and / or the noise pollution can be stored in a data memory. The evaluation unit 3 preferably evaluates a traffic behavior display value VAZ for the traffic behavior of the road user VT on the basis of the stored emission values of the various means of transport VM. In one possible embodiment, the evaluation of the behavior of a road user VT additionally takes place as a function of the quantity and / or quality of the event messages EM transmitted by the respective road user VT to the routing unit 2 or the traffic management center 5. A road user VT, who transmits many event reports with high quality or high level of detail to the traffic management system 1, is rated in terms of its behavior better than a road user VT who delivers no or few event messages EM.

Sobald der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT eine empfohlene Verkehrsroute ausgewählt hat und mit der Fahrt beginnt, werden Positionsdaten PD, insbesondere GPS-Daten, des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT aufgezeichnet. Sie werden kontinuierlich, periodisch oder ereignisorientiert, also z. B. am Ende jeder Fahrt, bei Erreichen eines bestimmten Ortes oder zu einer bestimmten Uhrzeit, oder manuell (z.B. vial Mail) an die Routingeinheit 2 und/oder die Bewertungseinheit 3 übermittelt. Die Bewertungseinheit 3 kann anhand der empfangenen Positionsdaten PD des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT automatisch eine Validierung der von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT entlang der genommenen Verkehrsroute VR benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM vornehmen. Anhand der Positionsdaten PD kann die Bewertungseinheit 3 einerseits prüfen, ob sich der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT tatsächlich entlang der empfohlenen Verkehrsroute VR bewegt oder bewegt hat, und kann andererseits überprüfen, ob der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT tatsächlich das empfohlene Verkehrsmittel VM mit der höchsten Umweltfreundlichkeit nimmt. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform kann die Bewertungseinheit 3 anhand der Änderungen der Positionsdaten PD im Zeitverlauf feststellen, ob sich der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT mit der für das Verkehrsmittel VM typischen Bewegungscharakteristik entlang der Verkehrsroute VR bewegt oder nicht. Bewegt sich beispielsweise ein Verkehrsteilnehmer mit einer Geschwindigkeit von mehr als 50 km/h entlang einer Verkehrsstrecke VS innerhalb der ausgewählten Verkehrsroute VR, kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT beispielsweise nicht zu Fuß oder auf dem Fahrrad unterwegs ist. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform zeichnet eine im mobilen Endgerät 8 des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT implementierte Applikation während der Fahrt Positionspunkte Pi entlang der Verkehrsroute VR auf und sendet diese Positionspunkte Pi zusammen mit der Identität ID des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT in regelmäßigen Abständen, beispielsweise alle zwei Minuten, an die Bewertungseinheit 3 des Verkehrsmanagementsystems 1. Mit einer Plausibilitätsprüfung kann festgestellt werden, ob der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT in der ausgewählten Verkehrsroute VR die für die jeweilige Verkehrsstrecke VS vorgesehenen Verkehrsmittel VM tatsächlich benutzt. Die Auswertung bzw. Validierung kann auf Basis der übermittelten Positionspunkte Pi und der daraus abgeleiteten Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit V sowie anhand von Haltepunkten bzw. Haltezeiten erfolgen.As soon as the road user VT has selected a recommended traffic route and starts to drive, position data PD, in particular GPS data, of the road user VT are recorded. They are continuous, periodic or event-oriented, so z. B. at the end of each ride, when reaching a certain place or at a specific time, or manually (eg, vial mail) to the routing unit 2 and / or the evaluation unit 3 transmitted. The evaluation unit 3 can automatically make a validation of the traffic VM used by the road user VT along the taken traffic route VR on the basis of the received position data PD of the road user VT. On the one hand, on the basis of the position data PD, the evaluation unit 3 can check whether the road user VT has actually moved or moved along the recommended traffic route VR, and on the other hand, can check whether the road user VT actually takes the recommended transport VM with the highest environmental friendliness. In one possible embodiment, the evaluation unit 3 can determine on the basis of the changes in the position data PD over time whether or not the road user VT is moving with the movement characteristic characteristic of the transport VM along the traffic route VR. If, for example, a road user moves at a speed of more than 50 km / h along a traffic route VS within the selected traffic route VR, it can be assumed that the road user VT is not traveling on foot or on a bicycle, for example. In one possible embodiment, an application implemented in the mobile terminal 8 of the road user VT records position P i along the traffic route VR during the journey and transmits these position points P i together with the identity ID of the road user VT at regular intervals, for example every two minutes the evaluation unit 3 of the traffic management system 1. With a plausibility check can be determined whether the road user VT in the selected traffic route VR for each traffic route VS provided means of transport VM actually used. The evaluation or validation can be carried out on the basis of the transmitted position points P i and the movement speed V derived therefrom as well as on the basis of breakpoints or holding times.

Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform wird für einen Verkehrsteilnehmer VT bzw. eine Gruppe von gemeinsam angemeldeten Verkehrsteilnehmern VTG ein Teilnehmersymbol mit Attributen an einer aktuellen Position entlang der ausgewählten Verkehrsroute VR auf einer Anzeigeeinheit des mobilen Endgeräts 8 dem jeweiligen Verkehrsteilnehmer bzw. den jeweiligen Verkehrsteilnehmern angezeigt. Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform kann die Bewertungseinheit 3 das angezeigte Teilnehmersymbol und/oder dessen Attribute dynamisch in Abhängigkeit von dem bewerteten Verhalten des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT verändern. Die Attribute des Teilnehmersymbols umfassen beispielsweise verkehrstypische Kleidungsstücke. Das Teilnehmersymbol ist beispielsweise ein Avatar, welcher den Verkehrsteilnehmer bzw. die Teilnehmergruppe darstellt. Das Verkehrsteilnehmersymbol VT-SYMB kann sich über die Zeit entsprechend dem Verhalten, insbesondere Verkehrsverhalten, des Teilnehmers verändern. Entsprechend dem bewerteten Verkehrsverhalten bzw. Verhalten des Verkehrsteilnehmers kann sich das Aussehen des angezeigten Avatars bzw. angezeigten Teilnehmersymbols verändern. Beispielsweise kann ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT, der oft und lange ein Fahrrad als Verkehrsmittel VM benutzt, ein symbolisch dargestelltes verbessertes Fahrrad seitens der Bewertungseinheit 3 zugewiesen bekommen, welches dem Verkehrsteilnehmer in einer Darstellung auf seinem mobilen Endgerät 8 angezeigt wird. Verschiedene Verkehrsteilnehmer, die ein Team bzw. eine Gruppe VTG von Verkehrsteilnehmern VT, beispielsweise innerhalb eines Stadtteils bilden, können ein gemeinsames Trikot erhalten, das ihre Teamzugehörigkeit darstellt. Durch das veränderte Teilnehmersymbol und/oder durch die Veränderung von Attributen können einzelne Verkehrsteilnehmer VT oder Teilnehmergruppen VTG zur Benutzung eines bestimmten Verkehrsmittels VM zusätzlich motiviert werden.In one possible embodiment, for a road user VT or a group of jointly registered road users VTG, a subscriber symbol with attributes at a current position along the selected traffic route VR is displayed on a display unit of the mobile terminal 8 to the respective road user or road users. In one possible embodiment, the evaluation unit 3 can dynamically change the displayed subscriber symbol and / or its attributes as a function of the assessed behavior of the road user VT. The attributes of the subscriber symbol include, for example, traffic-typical garments. The subscriber symbol is, for example, an avatar, which represents the road user or the group of participants. The traffic participant symbol VT-SYMB may change over time according to the behavior, in particular traffic behavior, of the subscriber. Depending on the assessed traffic behavior or behavior of the road user, the appearance of the displayed avatar or displayed subscriber symbol may change. For example, a road user VT, who often and for a long time uses a bicycle as a transport VM, can be assigned a symbolically represented improved bicycle by the evaluation unit 3, which is displayed to the road user in a representation on his mobile terminal 8. Different road users, who form a team or a group VTG of road users VT, for example within a district, can receive a common jersey that represents their team affiliation. Due to the changed subscriber symbol and / or due to the change of attributes, individual road users VT or subscriber groups VTG can additionally be motivated to use a specific means of transport VM.

Bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform veranlasst die Bewertungseinheit 3 auf Basis des bewerteten Verhaltens des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT oder einer Verkehrsteilnehmergruppe VTG eine Belohnung der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT. Beispielsweise kann ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT dahingehend belohnt werden, dass er Bonuspunkte bzw. Bonusmeilen für bestimmte Verkehrsmittel, insbesondere innerhalb des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs, als Fußgänger oder Radfahrer erhält. Beispielsweise kann ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT, der sich umweltfreundlich verhält, mit virtuellen Prämien, beispielsweise dynamischen Attributen, oder realen Prämien belohnt werden, z. B. mit einer kostenfreien oder kostenreduzierten Zugfahrt seitens der Bewertungseinheit 3 . Eine weitere Belohnungsmöglichkeit besteht beispielsweise darin, dass ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT, der sich umweltfreundlich verhält, mit einem seiner Verkehrsmittel VM besondere Verkehrsrouten benutzen darf, die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern VT versperrt bleiben. Beispielsweise kann ein Verkehrsteilnehmer, welcher sich normalerweise umweltfreundlich mit dem Fahrrad bewegt, seitens der Bewertungseinheit 3 damit belohnt werden, dass er mit seinem Pkw als alternatives Verkehrsmittel VM eine privilegierte Fahrspur innerhalb des Stadtverkehrs benutzen darf.In one possible embodiment, the evaluation unit 3 initiates a reward of the road users VT on the basis of the assessed behavior of the road user VT or a road user group VTG. For example, a road user VT can be rewarded in that he receives bonus points or bonus miles for certain means of transport, in particular within the public transport, as a pedestrian or cyclist. For example, a road user VT who behaves environmentally friendly may be rewarded with virtual rewards, such as dynamic attributes, or real rewards, e.g. B. with a free or reduced cost train ride by the evaluation unit. 3 Another reward option is, for example, that a road user VT, who behaves environmentally friendly, may use one of his transport VM special traffic routes, the other road users VT remain blocked. For example, a road user, who normally moves eco-friendly by bicycle, may be rewarded by the evaluation unit 3 for using his car as an alternative means of transport VM to use a privileged lane within the urban traffic.

Die Bewertungseinheit 3 kann bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform Benutzungsstatistiken über eine Vielzahl von Verkehrsteilnehmern VT generieren. Hierbei werden beispielsweise Nutzerzahlen, Nutzungshäufigkeit von Verkehrsmitteln VM, betreffende Verkehrsrouten VR und Ähnliches ausgewertet. Diese Daten können neben dem Verkehrsmanagement auch zur Verkehrsplanung verwendet werden.The evaluation unit 3 may in one possible embodiment generate usage statistics for a plurality of road users VT. Here, for example, user numbers, frequency of use of means of transport VM, relevant traffic routes VR and the like are evaluated. In addition to traffic management, this data can also be used for traffic planning.

Die Bewertungseinheit 3 kann bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform für jeden Verkehrsteilnehmer VT einen Verkehrsverhaltensanzeigewert VAZ berechnen und bei Anfrage durch den Verkehrsteilnehmer an diesen übermitteln, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt. Zur Berechnung des Verkehrsverhaltensanzeigewertes VAZ werden nicht nur die von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT tatsächlich benutzten Verkehrsmittel VM berücksichtigt, sondern auch die von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT übermittelten Ereignismeldungen EM, welche die Bewertungseinheit 3 von den mobilen Endgeräten 8 der Verkehrsteilnehmer erhält. Die Verkehrsereignismeldungen EM können durch die Bewertungseinheit 3 zusätzlich an die Verkehrsmanagementzentrale 5 weitergeleitet werden. In Abhängigkeit von den verschiedenen Ereignismeldungen EM' kann die Verkehrsmanagementzentrale 5 zusätzlich Verkehrsleitmittel oder direkt Verkehrsmittel zur Förderung des Verkehrsflusses ansteuern. Wird beispielsweise von verschiedenen Verkehrsteilnehmern VT, die sich an derselben Straßenkreuzung befinden, ein Verkehrsunfall gemeldet, kann die Verkehrsmanagementzentrale 5 bzw. eine darin integrierte Steuerung Verkehrsleitmittel, beispielsweise Verkehrsampeln, derart ansteuern, dass der Verkehrsfluss an der betroffenen Straßenkreuzung vorbeigeleitet wird. Hierdurch können Verkehrsstaus aufgrund bestimmter Verkehrsereignisse weitgehend vermieden werden, sodass zusätzlich CO2-Emissionen verhindert werden.In one possible embodiment, the evaluation unit 3 can calculate a traffic behavior display value VAZ for each road user VT and transmit it to the road user on request, as in FIG Fig. 3 shown. To calculate the traffic behavior display value VAZ, not only those of the road user VT actually become taken into account, but also the event messages EM transmitted by the road user VT, which the evaluation unit 3 receives from the mobile terminals 8 of the road users. The traffic event messages EM can additionally be forwarded by the evaluation unit 3 to the traffic management center 5. Depending on the various event messages EM ', the traffic management center 5 can additionally control traffic guidance means or directly traffic means for promoting the traffic flow. If, for example, a traffic accident is reported by different road users VT who are located at the same intersection, the traffic management center 5 or an integrated control can control traffic guidance means, for example traffic lights, in such a way that the traffic flow is conducted past the road intersection concerned. As a result, traffic congestion due to certain traffic events can be largely avoided, so that additional CO 2 emissions are prevented.

Fig. 6 dient zur Verdeutlichung der Funktionsweise des erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementverfahrens. Fig. 6 zeigt eine Verkehrsroute zwischen einem Startpunkt P0 und einem Zielpunkt P3. Die Verkehrsroute VR umfasst mehrere Verkehrsstrecken VS1, VS2, VS3. Für jede Verkehrsstrecke VSi können verschiedene Verkehrsmittel VM vorgesehen sein, wie in Fig. 7 dargestellt. Beispielsweise kann zwischen einem Verkehrsroutenpunkt Pi und einem Verkehrsroutenpunkt Pi+1 die Möglichkeit bestehen, ein erstes Verkehrsmittel VM1, ein zweites Verkehrsmittel VM2 oder ein sonstiges Verkehrsmittel VMx zu benutzen. Beispielsweise besteht für eine bestimmte Verkehrsstrecke VS die Möglichkeit, diese zu Fuß, mit dem Auto oder mit dem Fahrrad zurückzulegen. Fig. 6 serves to illustrate the operation of the traffic management method according to the invention. Fig. 6 shows a traffic route between a starting point P0 and a destination point P3. The traffic route VR comprises several traffic routes VS1, VS2, VS3. For each traffic route VS i different means of transport VM can be provided, as in Fig. 7 shown. For example, between a traffic route point P i and a traffic route point P i + 1 it is possible to use a first transport VM1, a second transport VM2 or another transport VM x . For example, for a given traffic route VS, it is possible to cover it on foot, by car or by bicycle.

Fig. 8 zeigt beispielsweise eine Straße mit einem danebenliegenden Fahrradweg und einem Fußgängerweg. Ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT hat somit die Möglichkeit, diese Verkehrsstrecke VS innerhalb der Verkehrsroute VR mit dem Verkehrsmittel VM1 Pkw, mit dem Verkehrsmittel VM2 Fahrrad oder zu Fuß (VM3) zurückzulegen. Entsprechend dem ausgewählten Verkehrsmittel VM bewegt sich der Verkehrsteilnehmer VT mit einer für das Verkehrsmittel VM typischen Geschwindigkeit V1, V2, V3 entlang der Verkehrsstrecke VS von dem Positionspunkt Pi zu dem Positionspunkt Pi+1. Bei dem dargestellten Beispiel ist die Verkehrsgeschwindigkeit V des Verkehrsmittels VM1 Pkw V1 größer als die Verkehrsgeschwindigkeit V2 des Verkehrsmittels VM2 Fahrrad, das einerseits eine höhere Verkehrsgeschwindigkeit aufweist als die Geschwindigkeit V3 eines Fußgängers VM3. Anhand der zwischen den Streckenpunkten erreichten Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit V1, V2, V3 kann die Bewertungseinheit 3 bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform das von dem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT genommene Verkehrsmittel VM validieren. Wählt beispielsweise ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT eine Verkehrsroute VR, deren Streckenabschnitte mit dem Verkehrsmittel VM Fahrrad bewältigt werden sollen, benutzt jedoch in Wirklichkeit einen Pkw, kann dies bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform durch die Bewertungseinheit 3 festgestellt werden und in die Bewertung des Verhaltens des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT negativ einfließen. Hierdurch wird es einem Verkehrsteilnehmer VT erschwert, die Bewertung seines Verkehrsverhaltens zu manipulieren. Versucht ein Verkehrsteilnehmer VT die Bewertung seines Verhaltens wiederholt zu verfälschen, kann er bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform von der Teilnahme an dem Verkehrsmanagementverfahren ausgeschlossen werden. Fig. 8 For example, shows a road with an adjacent cycle path and a pedestrian walkway. A road user VT thus has the option of this traffic line VS within the traffic route VR with the means of transport VM1 Passenger car to travel by VM2 bicycle or on foot (VM3). In accordance with the selected means of transport VM, the road user VT moves with a transport speed VM typical speed V1, V2, V3 along the traffic route VS from the position point P i to the position point P i + 1 . In the illustrated example, the traffic speed V of the means of transport VM1 passenger car V1 is greater than the traffic speed V2 of the means of transport VM2 bicycle, which on the one hand has a higher traffic speed than the speed V3 of a pedestrian VM3. On the basis of the movement speed V1, V2, V3 reached between the route points, the evaluation unit 3 can, in one possible embodiment, validate the means of transport VM taken by the road user VT. If, for example, a road user VT chooses a traffic route VR whose route sections are to be managed by the means of transport VM bicycle, but in reality uses a car, this can be determined by the evaluation unit 3 in one possible embodiment and negatively incorporated into the evaluation of the behavior of the road user VT , This makes it difficult for a road user VT to manipulate the evaluation of his traffic behavior. If a road user VT attempts to repeatedly distort the evaluation of his behavior, he may be excluded from participating in the traffic management procedure in one possible embodiment.

Fig. 4 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementsystems 1. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform wird ein intermodales bzw. verkehrsmittelübergreifendes Routing durch eine Routingeinheit 2 vorgenommen. Zunächst kann sich der Nutzer bzw. Verkehrsteilnehmer VT bei der Plattform bzw. Bewertungseinheit 3 anmelden. Anschließend sendet der Nutzer eine Routenanfrage von seinem mobilen Endgerät 8 an die intermodale Routingeinheit 2. Die Routingeinheit 2 berechnet Routenempfehlungen bzw. Verkehrsroutenempfehlungen unter Berücksichtigung aktueller Verkehrsdaten bzw. Navigationsdaten aus verschiedenen Datenquellen. Anschließend erfolgt eine Routenauswahl durch den Nutzer, wobei die ausgewählte Route an die Routingeinheit 2 und die Bewertungseinheit 3 übertragen wird. In einem weiteren Schritt wird die Route zur Visualisierung auf einer Karte seitens der Routingeinheit 2 an die auf dem mobilen Endgerät 8 ablaufende Applikation übertragen. Der Nutzer bzw. Verkehrsteilnehmer hat die Möglichkeit, ortsgebundene Ereignisse bzw. verkehrsrelevante Ereignisse, die er beobachtet, in sein mobiles Endgerät 8 über eine Nutzerschnittstelle einzugeben, wobei die angegebenen ortsgebundenen Ereignisse in einer Ereignismeldung von der Applikation an die Bewertungseinheit 3 und ggf. auch an die Routingeinheit 2 übertragen werden. Die Bewertungseinheit 3 kann verschiedene Ereignismeldungen EM von verschiedenen Verkehrsteilnehmern VT erhalten und auswerten. Hierdurch können die gemeldeten verkehrsrelevanten Ereignisse verifiziert und ggf. auch konkretisiert werden. Anschließend werden die ausgewerteten Ereignisse an die Verkehrsmanagementzentrale 5 weitergeleitet. Die Bewertungseinheit 3 bewertet das Verhalten des Verkehrsteilnehmers VT anhand der übermittelten Ereignisse und der von ihm genommenen Verkehrsmittel VM und berechnet hierzu bei einer möglichen Ausführungsform einen Verkehrsverhaltensanzeigewert VAZ, der von dem Nutzer abgefragt werden kann. Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the traffic management system 1 according to the invention in the illustrated embodiment, an intermodal or multi-vehicle routing is performed by a routing unit 2. First, the user or road user VT can log on to the platform or evaluation unit 3. Subsequently, the user sends a route request from his mobile terminal 8 to the intermodal routing unit 2. The routing unit 2 calculates route recommendations or traffic route recommendations taking into account current traffic data or navigation data from different data sources. Subsequently a route selection is performed by the user, wherein the selected route is transmitted to the routing unit 2 and the evaluation unit 3. In a further step, the route for visualization on a map is transmitted by the routing unit 2 to the application running on the mobile terminal 8. The user or road user has the ability to enter localized events or traffic-related events that he observes in his mobile device 8 via a user interface, the specified localized events in an event message from the application to the evaluation unit 3 and possibly also to the routing unit 2 are transmitted. The evaluation unit 3 can receive and evaluate various event messages EM from different road users VT. As a result, the reported traffic-relevant events can be verified and possibly also specified. Subsequently, the evaluated events are forwarded to the traffic management center 5. The evaluation unit 3 evaluates the behavior of the road user VT on the basis of the transmitted events and the traffic VM taken by him and, in one possible embodiment, calculates a traffic behavior display value VAZ that can be queried by the user.

Bei dem in Fig. 4 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementsystems 1 kann die intermodale Routingeinheit 2 auf unterschiedliche Datenquellen zugreifen. Beispielsweise kann die Routingeinheit 2 auf Verkehrsmeldungen hinsichtlich des Individualverkehrs IV zugreifen und/oder auf Daten des öffentlichen Verkehrs.At the in Fig. 4 illustrated embodiment of the traffic management system 1 according to the invention, the intermodal routing unit 2 can access different data sources. For example, the routing unit 2 can access traffic reports relating to the individual traffic IV and / or public transport data.

Fig. 5 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementsystems 1. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Routingeinheit 2 eine verkehrsmittelspezifische Routingeinheit für ein bestimmtes Verkehrsmittel, beispielsweise nur für Fahrräder. Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the traffic management system according to the invention 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the routing unit 2 is a transport-specific routing unit for a particular means of transport, for example, only for bicycles.

Ein Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementsystems 1 besteht darin, dass die Verkehrsteilnehmer VT einen Anreiz erhalten, möglichst umweltfreundliche Verkehrsmittel VM zwischen einem Startpunkt und einem Zielpunkt einer Verkehrsroute VR zu benutzen. Hierdurch können CO2- und Stickstoffemissionen, insbesondere im Stadtgebiet, vermindert werden. Weiterhin können Lärmemissionen bzw. Lärmbelästigungen hierdurch reduziert werden. Da die Verkehrsteilnehmer VT in die Verkehrsbeobachtung miteinbezogen werden, wird zusätzlich der Verkehrsfluss innerhalb des Gebietes optimiert. Durch die Verbesserung des Verkehrsflusses werden wiederum die Emissionsbelastungen innerhalb des Gebietes weiter vermindert. Ein weiterer Nebeneffekt des erfindungsgemäßen Verkehrsmanagementsystems 1 besteht darin, dass auch die Gesundheit der Verkehrsteilnehmer gefördert wird, da diese einen Anreiz erhalten, umweltfreundliche und gleichzeitig gesundheitsfördernde Verkehrsmittel VM zu benutzen. Die von einer Vielzahl von Verkehrsteilnehmern gewonnenen Verkehrsdaten können zusätzlich in die Verkehrsplanung von Verkehrsmitteln VM innerhalb eines Gebietes einfließen.An advantage of the traffic management system 1 according to the invention is that the road users VT receive an incentive to use the most environmentally friendly means of transport VM between a starting point and a destination point of a traffic route VR. As a result, CO 2 - and nitrogen emissions, especially in urban areas, can be reduced. Furthermore, noise emissions or noise pollution can be reduced. Since the road users VT are included in the traffic observation, the traffic flow within the area is additionally optimized. Improving the flow of traffic will further reduce emissions within the area. Another side effect of the traffic management system 1 according to the invention is that the health of the road users is also promoted, since they receive an incentive to use environmentally friendly and at the same time health-promoting means of transport VM. The traffic data obtained by a large number of road users can additionally be incorporated into the traffic planning of means of transport VM within an area.
